Group process and organization

Things tend to happen slowly; for example, putting off budget discussion for months, not implementing regular equipment trainings

Lacking Report-backs on agreed decisions, ensuring follow-through

  • Regular (monthly) financial reports to keep members informed about the state of the organization.
  • Implementing equipment trainings (designated time? integrate with weekly meeting?)

Action items
